3943-97-3

Chemical Structure

  • Methyl p-coumarate
  • Synonym(s): Methyl 4-hydroxycinnamate
  • CAS No: 3943-97-3
    Formula: C10H10O3
    Molecular Weight: 178.18
  • IUPAC Name: methyl (E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acrylate
  • InChIKey: NITWSHWHQAQBAW-QPJJXVBHSA-N

Biological Activity: Methyl p-coumarate (Methyl 4-hydroxycinnamate), an orally active esterified derivative of p-Coumaric acid (pCA), can be isolated from the flower of Trixis michuacana var longifolia. Methyl p-coumarate could inhibit the melanin formation in B16 mouse melanoma cells. Methyl p-coumarate also has strong in vitro inhibitory effect on A. alternata and other pathogens[1][2].
